Sort of a poetic telling of some of Kaiba's inner thoughts. I liked how the story was told through his thoughts without a single word from him to her...sort of like a flashback as he looks over parts of his life.

Very dramatic story! It is an interesting look at Seto Kaiba's character. I really enjoyed it!

Exquisite! Such powerful imagery! I love the format of the story, the darkness dripping from each word, the introspective-nature, and Seto's reasoning for not approaching Anzu.

I absolutely adore the contrasting sentence lengths-they serve to emphasise each point as it is made. His view of Anzu is touching. I love how you stay so true to Seto's character.

The conclusion was so strong, with such a strong sense of finality-it was the perfect ending to the perfect story!

I think I'm going to cry...

To tell the truth I really don't like Evanescence(not that I hate them or anything, I do like some of the songs), my sister is the one that likes them..anyway, you did a really good job on portraying the reasons why Seto pushes away Tea so much, if only the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh could have imagined this lovely pair together.

I started to write something like "Dep" but I felt like such a nerd. But yeah, that's the first word that came to my mind: Deep. I liked how you bravely plunged into a dark and angsting Kaiba's mind.

Oh! I finally know what this reminds me of! See, I read it Friday night, but was distracted by comedy shows that my parents were watching, so couldn't comment appropriately. It's been nagging at me slightly; now I know what I've been thinking of. Have you ever heard the Broadway version of 'Beauty and the Beast'? The angsty songs the Beast sings ("If I can't love her... then let the world be done with me..." and along those lines ) remind me of this.

In just that angsty, "I suck and am dark", slightly depressing way of course.

That captured the very essence of Seto Kaiba. Bravo! I applaude you and your stupendous writing! I'm not a fan of Anzu or the Seto-Anzu pairing, but you make the pair plausable and lovable. Great job on this fic and all your others fics that I haven't had a chance to review.
